Haloferax volcanii degrades the pentoses D-xylose and L-arabinose via an oxidative pathway to α-ketoglutarate as an intermediate. The initial dehydrogenases of the pathway, D-xylose dehydrogenase (XDH) and L-arabinose dehydrogenase (L-AraDH) catalyze the NADP+ dependent D-xylose and L-arabinose oxidation. It is

A series of 3-C-alkyl- (and 3-C-phenyl-) 2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-pentono-1,4-lactones, compounds which are important in the synthesis of modified nucleosides and antibiotic sugars, were synthesized from D-ribonolactone. By a route that proceeded via 5-O-protected D-ribonolactone, 5-O-protected 2,3-dideoxy-D-glycero-pent-2-enono-1,4-lactones were synthesized and reacted with R2CuLi
